Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
And he had brethren - the sons of Jehoshaphat , king of Israel . - Jehoshaphat certainly was not king of Israel, but king of Judah. Yisrael must be a corruption in the text, for Yehudah ; which is the reading of the Syriac, Arabic, Septuagint, and Vulgate: the Chaldee, only agrees with the Hebrew text. And the reading of the versions is supported by thirty-eight of Kennicott' s and De Rossi' s MSS. The word Judah should therefore be restored to the text.
